The .405 winchester chambering comes to mind, but I know that the '95 was chambered in alot of other good chamberings suitable for game.

What did you use? Any stories you want to share?

I used a 95 in .405 that belongs to my pal in Namibia. he's a captain in the police dept, and the firearms licensing officer for the district. he turns up with some neat stuff people want to sell rather then re-lisence. This was a .405 that went through england first, with the nitro proofs, cordite load ect stamped on the barrel. I used it the last time I went for a visit/hunting. It was as good as anything else I've used on warthogs, kudu ect.
